If you need to know how to properly format a paper in Microsoft Word 2007 for APA 6th edition - this is a step by step video that will help you.  Beware - it is nearly 10 minutes long.

BEWARE ... MISTAKES!

Unsurprisingly, there were multiple mistakes in the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.  What is surprising is that the list of corrections is seven pages long.  This only applies to the first printing of the 6th edition. Don't know if your copy is the first printing? Check the verso of the title page; the very last line of information will say "Sixth Edition, First Printing".  To see all seven pages of corrections, go to http://supp.apa.org/style/pubman-reprint-corrections-for-2e.pdf.

The 6th Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association was released July 1, 2009 (even though it has a copyright date of 2010).

Revisions were made in 7 areas covered by the Publication Manual - ethics, journal article reporting standards, reducing bias in language, graphics, writing style, references, and statistics.  This guide is specifically structured to help students create references in the APA style.

Please Note:

If you use NoodleBib or EndNote, both of these products are still under the 5th edition rules of the Publication Manual.  At this time, it appears both resources are updating to the 6th edition rules, but there is no known timeline for going live with the 6th edition rules in NoodleBibl and EndNote.
